UEC defends accuracy of photo finish at European Championships in response to Giulio Ciccone questioning technology

Following the European road competition, Giulio Ciccone expressed public doubt on social media regarding the narrow sprint outcome against Remco Evenepoel. In response, the Union Européenne de Cyclisme issued a statement backing the timing technology provided by EvoData, noting a tiny time gap of 0.0002 seconds that translated to roughly three millimetres on the tarmac.

The organizing body explained that the EtherLynx Vision PRO X equipment relies on chronological time-based recordings rather than conventional photography, which accounts for any visual stretching of bicycles without impacting final placement accuracy.
